Can anyone recognise this fragment?


Recommended Posts

I defer to the many baroque aficionados in the forum. I happened to hear a guitar interpretation that might have been Bach or Weiss. It was cut off before the closing announcement. This is from memory and is all I can remember of tune and harmony with some hope. The opening chord is just arpeggiated with a mordant atop.

I can't trace it on various searches for the music score using words like dance, D minor and various Baroque composers.

If anyone recognises it, please tell. It would be most appreciated. (I'm trying to learn guitar and this would seem an ideal piece at the stage I'm at!)

Many thanks.

Difficult to say.  But I think that it is a bit similar to  Bach´s siciliano. Could it be a variation/arrangement for guitar of this piece?

 

Than you indeed!

Narrowing it down to one of the Bachs, it's CPE Bach's Siciliana. Armed with your hint I was able to find a recording sample and....bulls-eye!

I am in your debt. Now I can get the sheet music.
